THE STORK HAS LANDED!!!!!!!!

Waiting for our phone call and pictures...just received word from our agency that said this:

"The Stork Has Landed! If you have received this email we are pleased to announce that we have received your referral!  Congratulations" 

Crying.  Tears.  So crazy.  After all this time my friends...all this time...

More to come - next post is KEIRA!

1:09pm - 4th Update *****
  
Ok, all you "refreshers" - you know who you are!  Ha!  No news.  HOWEVER, I would like to have it on the permanent record that your comments are keeping me sane in an otherwise impossible day.

Here's the run down of my physical "labor" symptoms.  No joke..

Sweating profusely.  (what the frig?!?)  Increased heart rate and some palpitations.  Yes, I think that's what we call Stage I of  a good old fashioned panic attack.  Sweaty palms.  Agitated.  Have to pee every two freaking minutes.  Oh. yes. I. do.  LAME.  Nerves are shot.  Had to force myself to eat a turkey sandwich and have ZERO appetite.  So I decided that York Peppermint Patties for lunch could not be considered a crime on a day such as this.  Word.

I keep checking the clock, the inbox, the refresh button, the sanity - whoops, slipped that in there. I'm losing my evah' lovin' mind.  HELP!

Baby went down for his afternoon nap, so now I have 2-3 hours of peace and quiet with which to obsess and freak out and wait...wait...wait...

 12:06pm - 3rd update *****

Nothing new.  Aging watching my inbox.  Waiting for an update...AB just called me, and I bout' had a heart attack.  Love you people, but don't call me.  Not now.  Unless you're trying to put me in an early grave. Ha!

Here's a little something to pass the time.  Remember that poll I had you take wondering how old Keira would be at referral?  Here are the results:

The winner is...

8-10 Months Old with 56% of the vote

2nd Place with 19% of the vote is 12 Months Old

3rd Place with 11% of the vote is 14-18 Months Old

4th Place with 10% of the vote is 5-7 Months Old

5th Place with 2% of the vote is 2 Years or Older

We shall see...


11:04am - 2nd update *****

Didn't know what to do with myself, so I thought I better 1. get out of my pj's and dress myself (rocky morning, what can I say?)  AND 2. put some makeup on and comb the hair.  Shower?  No, no...who has time?  They could call and I'd be in the shower, I just know it.  Later for that...tons of time later.  But at least now when I hit "record" on the camera for that crucial call, I won't cringe every time I have to watch it for the next 60 years because I'll at least have on earrings and a lovely winter sweater.  Just sayin'.

Ok, going to be watching The Polar Express with Quint and eyeballing the inbox like fox on a rabbit hole.  Deep breath.



10:26am - 1st update *****


Just received word that referrals could be arriving as early as 11:00am CST.
